Scarecrow
Alex Sierra Lyrics

I'm standin' still without you
I am immobile and stagnant because we are apart

In the emptiest of fields
In vast spaces devoid of warmth

I wish that I could say what's on my mind
But my fear and insecurity hold me back

The straw that fills your heart
The unfeeling barrier that shields your emotions

So you never have to feel
Preventing you from experiencing pain and love

You say that you just need a little time
As if our relationship can be paused, like a movie

Days like these I bury my
Words, deep within myself

My each and every word
Each and every phrase that could bring us together

And hide them underneath these lonely trees
Buried in the solitude, unable to grow

The harvest moon is wicked
The full moon casts an ominous shadow on our love

I know that you've been hurt
Your past traumas are like a shadow looming over us

I swear I'm here for good I'll never leave
I will never abandon you, my devotion is eternal

You're staring out the window
Staring into the abyss, lost in thought

And I'm out here in the street
Trying to reach you, no matter the distance

You stand there like a scarecrow
Stiff and unyielding, unmoved by my attempts at connection

And I'm begging you to speak
Desperately trying to reach past your walls and hear your words

You used to be my solid ground
The foundation of my life that kept me stable and rooted

Now I'm drowning in the sea
My life is being consumed by a force greater than myself

And I just want to believe in you and me
Holding onto belief in the love we once shared

You used to be so full of life
Your energy and spirit were contagious

Not just an empty shell
Now, a hollow vessel; unreachable

You're out there all alone I wonder why
In isolation, you keep your secrets locked away

The pieces keep on falling out
Your walls are crumbling and your heart is exposed

And I pick them up myself
I am willing to help rebuild and mend

But I'd let you steal the buttons from my eyes
Letting you take my memories and experiences as sacrifice for our love

You said you'd open up for me
Promising to reveal your emotions and fears to me

Well nothing's what it seems to be
But everything feels like smoke and mirrors, a facade

How can I make you feel again
Desperately wanting to reignite your passion for life

Only you can make me real again
Knowing that our connection is the only thing that makes me whole
